Tshepisong 22kV Switching Station

Client: City Power
Year: 2015

The proposed Tshepisong Switching Station will feed the entire Tshepisong area. The current method of supply to the area is by means of three 22kV Overhead Lines (Hare backbone & Mink T-offs) through pole mounted Auto-reclosers.

On several occasions Escom raised concerns regarding faults on the 22kV Overhead Network, which resulted in causing damage to the Transformers at Vlei Substation.

City Power identified the need for strengthening the network in the Tshepisong area that involves a new 22kV 35MVA firm supply of Eskom’s 132/22kV Vlei Substation, to City Power’s proposed new 22kV Tshepisong Switching Station.

The preferred method of supply for the proposed new Tshepisong Switching Station will be 5 x 22kV 300mm² 3-Core Al XLPE underground cables from Eskom’s Vlei Substation.
